Ok I am looking to build a new cheap gaming computer that can last for a couple of years and wondering what parts i should get with a budget of £400 - £600 I could use the tower & PSU i have at the moment to save money but it is a small EI systems tower i got from PC World as it was a start.

Any ideas please

Well 400-600 pounds translates to around 1400 dollars Australian. Personally I think it would be hard to get a good gaming PC on that budget...

Still, all you can do is try, right?

Well seeing as it is a gaming computer the main thing you'll be looking at is a good video card. Are you an ATI or Nvidia person?

Hi Jameslee.

As you're using your existing case and psu we, firstly, need to know what type's of board it will accept so we know what to look at (atx, e-atx?) also, what wattage is your psu?
